Creamy Italian Asparagus

The most asparagus recipe ever. It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, and it’s full of herbs. So delicious, you will fall madly in love with this creamy asparagus.

Oh…my…asparagus!

Any other crazy asparagus fans out there? If you are one, you will LOVE this little treat. I’m hooked, I’m a goner, I’m all about this creamy, cheesy, filled-with-herbs goodness.

I love asparagus and I normally make it my favorite way, roasted with some salt, pepper, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon juice. It’s worked for me as a simple side (and sometimes the whole dinner) for a long time. Yes, once in a while I’ve tried new ways of making it, like wrapping it in prosciutto or bacon, but still went back to the good old roasted with some garlic and lemon way. There is something about those crispy tips that is so addicting.

Well, plain seasoned roasted asparagus, step aside and make way for this cheesy awesomeness. This creamy asparagus is made with Italian herb seasoning and two kinds of cheese. It’s pure heaven and your dinner is not complete without it!

Ingredients

• About 1 lb 1 bunch asparagus, small/medium thickness
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 and lightly grease a 1.5-2 quart baking pan. (8x8 baking pan should work too.)
2. Wash and dry the asparagus stalks. Trim off the white ends, if any. Place asparagus into the baking dish and spread them evenly.
3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and grated Asiago cheese.
4. Pour heavy cream mixture all over the asparagus.
5. Spread mozzarella cheese over the top.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes. (This is a good time for small to medium thickness of asparagus.)
